World's about 80% of the energy consumption is sustained by the extraction of fossil fuels, which consists of oil, coal and gas. Another non-renewable resource that is exploited by humans is subsoil minerals such as precious metals that are mainly used in the production of industrial commodities. It is only because of the increasing population and subsequent growth of materialistic attitude in human's behavior that has lead our planet to an exhaustible measure and subsequent release of harmful carbon particulate from the vehicles’ exhaust pipes also cannot be overlooked as it contains many harmful Green House Gases like: Carbon-dioxide, Carbon-monoxide, Methane etc. emerging out of Thermal Power Houses and Industries. This is also causing environmental damage and changes in the and atmosphere around earth's surface. Unfortunately, our future generation may face awful challenges for their survival due to these changes. Although, scientists and environmentalists, are seriously focusing to research an alternative energy to be helpful for the development of society and curbing the challenging climatic conditions. India being a geographically very rich pasture and has more than 10 months sun-shine (i.e. 300 days against 365 days) in a year. Thus, Solar Energy can be a better alternative in India to be exploited as a major source of Electric Power Deficit. Currently in India, Installed capacity of Power is 302087.87 MW and Generation is 104867.30 MW against Peak demand of 148166 MW (a deficit of around 45,000MW). As an experiment in Lucknow, if an average house-hold installs 2 kWh Roof Top Solar Power Generation, it will help to generate around 2-2.50 million units (2,000-2,500MW) in a year by approx. 10 lacks existing houses in Lucknow and light additionally more than 100-150 villages with current installed capacity of power generation under Solar Green Energy Potential and without damaging Environment. Thus, Solar Roof Top Power Generation can create almost surplus power in India by the year 2020 even if 50% of houses of countrymen decide to place Solar Roof Top Panels in their houses under major awareness programme.

The world’s energy consumption is outpacing supply due to population growth and technological advancements. For future energy demands, it is critical to progress toward a dependable, cost-effective, and sustainable renewable energy source. Solar energy, along with all other alternative energy sources, is a potential renewable resource to manage these enduring challenges in the energy crisis. Solar power generation is expanding globally as a result of growing energy demands and depleting fossil fuel reserves, which are presently the primary sources of power generation. In the realm of solar power generation, photovoltaic (PV) panels are used to convert solar radiation into energy. They are subjected to the constantly changing state of the environment, resulting in a wide range of defects. These defects should be discovered and remedied as soon as possible so that PV panels efficiency, endurance, and durability are not compromised. This paper focuses on five aspects, namely, (i) the various possible faults that occur in PV panels, (ii) the online/remote supervision of PV panels, (iii) the role of machine learning techniques in the fault diagnosis of PV panels, (iv) the various sensors used for different fault detections in PV panels, and (v) the benefits of fault identification in PV panels. Based on the investigated studies, recommendations for future research directions are suggested.

Solar power generation converts solar radiation into electrical energy. It is the most environmentally friendly green energy source in modern times, but the solar radiation reception rate is unstable due to weather. The general weather forecast is for the climate of a large area and cannot provide effective real-time prediction to the area where the power plant generating radiant energy from solar radiation. The sky imager can collect the sky image of the location of the solar power panel in real time, which can help to understand the weather conditions in real time, especially the dynamics of the clouds, which is the main reason for affecting the solar power generation. In this study, the optical flow method was used to analyze the motion vectors of clouds in the sky image, thereby estimating the changes of clouds in a short time, and the correlation between the distribution of clouds in the sky and the radiation of the whole sky images was analyzed through a neural network. The change further predicts the change in radiation across the sky, thereby effectively assessing the efficiency of solar power generation.

Since the industrial revolution, the world’s economy has mainly relied on the consumption of fossil fuels. The burning of coal releases vast amounts of toxic COx greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere that bear an undesirable environmental impact. The ongoing offshore oil exploration activities; the infrastructure for oil extraction, production, and transportation; and the inevitable oil spills cause severe damage to the environment and huge loss of sea life, flora, and fauna. Recent awareness of the environmental issues and the worldwide climate change spurred public interest in clean and environmentally friendly “green” energy generation. Solar energy is an abundant and inexhaustible resource that can meet much of the worlds’ energy needs and, thus, has been in the focus of scientific attention for many years. Yet, converting solar energy into usable electric power is a formidable engineering and economical challenge. The recent environmental awareness triggered governments and private companies around the world to encourage further research and capital investment into the development and deployment of efficient and cost-effective solar technologies. This review reports on advances in the technological approaches that can be employed to convert sunlight to electricity. This article presents a short survey of the state-of-the-art architectures of photovoltaic arrays and a review of the concepts and strategies of their associated electronic power processors for solar energy generation. The paper aims to be of assistance to engineers and scientists who are already engaged or just joining this fascinating field, to promote the knowledge of photovoltaic energy and facilitate the proliferation of the solar power generation systems.

power generation system of a size able to meet the electric power requirement for general illumination of the electric laboratory at Afyon Kocatepe University was dimensioned and installed. While determining the installation power of the hybrid wind–solar power generation system, the regional wind–solar energy potential and the magnitude of demanded power were the most important factors. It was decided to supply 400 W of the total 500 W of electric power required by the lamp group used for illumination of the electric laboratory from solar panels and 100 W from a wind turbine according to the wind–solar energy potential of the region and the cost analysis. For the hybrid energy-generation system that was designed and installed, by considering the data for the annual mean sunshine period and wind speed, the most suitable system components and thus the installation cost were determined. The electric power generated by the hybrid wind–solar power generation system and the electric power consumed by the laboratory illumination elements supplied with this system during one year were compared. According to the 12-month measurement results for power generation and consumption in the installed system, it was observed that the generated electric power was higher than the consumed electric power. Consequently, by not paying the total electric bill for electric power consumed by the general illumination elements, use of it for other education expenses was made possible. Besides, the installation costs in Turkey were compared with those in the countries of Denmark, Germany, Spain, and Portugal, where two important components of the dimensioned and installed hybrid wind–solar power generation system – wind and solar energy – are used effectively.

Renewable energy is a solution for electricity generation for cleaner and green energy. The aim of this paper is to find the energy potential of India in terms of sources, per-capita energy consumption and the main potential consumers. Comparing consumption of fossil fuels and Renewable energy sources (RES) of India in 2019 and 2020 and finally to find whether there is any change in energy generation of two solar power plants in different geographical location of India with the help of independent t-test statistics. In this paper two statistical analysis are proposed. One is the statistical analysis of installed capacity, generation and consumption of fossil fuels and renewable energy in India. Other one is the statistical analysis of two solar power plants located at different geographical locations in India. From the statistical analysis it is found that, installed capacity of coal, RES and hydro is increased in 2020 as compared to 2019. Total demand in January 2020 is 2,77,140.33 MW whereas total installed capacity is 3,71,126 MW, this means that installed capacity is more but are not in running condition. From the statistical analysis of two independent solar power plants it is found that solar power plant-1 generates more energy but with high conversion loss hence poor efficiency.
